This Season So Far
The 2024-25 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.
Last Season
10 goals and 18 assists in 67 games — 28 points at 17:15 a night, plus-11, with 1 power-play goal and 1 game-winner on 107 shots at 9.35 per cent, and 64 penalty minutes.
48.4 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 884 minutes, the 40th percentile. His ice went 36-37 against an expectation of 33.05-35.29.
The Finesse Game
107 attempts at a median of 27 feet, with 34 per cent from inside 20 and 29 per cent from beyond 40, converting at 9.35 per cent. Fifty-two goals in 401 NHL games; there is no finishing here.
18 assists. The hands are better than the reputation — he holds the puck below the goal line at 6-6 and waits for somebody to arrive, and 99 career assists against 52 goals is the shape of it.
The Physical Game
6-6 and 231, and he clears space in the corners by being immovable rather than by hitting anybody. He cannot be shifted off a puck on the wall and he protects it against two men.
291 penalty minutes in 401 games, and he will fight. He is the club’s hard forward on a roster whose top six is otherwise light.
The skating is the limitation and it always has been — he is beaten to loose pucks by men who cannot take one from him once he has it.
The Intangibles
Fiftieth overall in 2015, out of Boston University, and 401 games and 151 points at 27 across two clubs.
Plus-eleven on a club that finished twenty-second is the best forward mark on the roster. He is not a scorer and never was; what he is is the only forward here who makes a defenceman think about the next puck in the corner.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 21 points above where the numbers do. It was written for a back edition, with the seasons that followed already known. Neither the agreement nor the gap says anything about the eye, and this report is excluded from the club-level comparison for the same reason. Why the numbers land there sets out the club he did it on, the minutes he played and the men he played them with.
Both bars are percentiles among the 201 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 66 on their own scale — against every other report's mean. The numbers bar ranks his share of expected goals. A gap is a disagreement about where he belongs, not two scales talking past each other.
Usual linemates
2023-24 · 884 minutes at five-on-five
- Zach Benson28%
- Dylan Cozens27%
Share of his five-on-five ice time spent alongside each player, measured from shift charts. Special teams are excluded: a power-play unit is not a line.
Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2023-24
- The club
- BUF took 48.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 48.4% — 0.5 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 884 minutes at five-on-five — 47th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rasmus Dahlin | 48.3% | 48.4% | 51.9% |
| Casey Mittelstadt | 53.1% | 45.8% | 53.4% |
| Henri Jokiharju | 47.9% | 48.6% | 46.3% |
48.3% together, 48.4% for him apart and 51.9% for Dahlin apart. Dahlin was better away from him while his own share held, which is a mark against him more than for him.
Expected-goal share while both were on the ice, and for each man in the minutes he played without the other. Apart is the pair subtracted from his own totals. It does not settle who was carrying whom — apart from each other, both were still playing with somebody — but it does say whether the share travelled when the pairing broke up.
Where he shoots from
goal on goal missed
146 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 10 of them goals. His median goal came from 12 feet. 34% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 29% from beyond forty.
